Well, they already used the emails for notifications for listening parties etc.

It really sounds like just an operation to rake in tons of emails to send newsletters, it would be aligned with the overall feeling of "milking the cash cow" that this release has felt compared from previous ones from ...

At about 0:09 in Introit right before the 'logo' melody comes in on top of the arpeggio thing, I seem to hear a very faint short bit of that same 'zooming in' sound that happens at 0:20

Yes, only just noticed it on my 5th+ listen on what happened to be a different sound set up because I was at a friend's

Does it have any longer, distinct / 'singable' melodies? Kinda like Roygbiv, Smallest Weird Number, Dayvan, Peacock, IABPOITC, Kid For Today?

Prophecy at 1420 mhz has a couple melodies that come close but I'd say (somewhat arbitrarily) they're more like riffs
My answer to this would be no, and ...

Like others have mentioned, the album it reminds me of the most is TCH. Not really MHTRTC. 84 Pontiac Dream, Oscar See Through Red Eye, little bit of Peacock Tail.

The chord progression is actually kinda close to IABPOITC (the tune), though with very different effect.

Probably my fav track of the album, title is also badass, the track sounds like the theme of one of those dystopian 80's movie about a giant survival game that would take place in a post-apocalyptic north america, like a crossover between Mad Max and Running Man

Or Escape From New York, though I ...

Oddly enough it reminds me of The Beach at Redpoint

Damn! Absolute banger. The way the beat drops in right at the beginning. Sounds so modern and fresh.

Then that 3rd bass note hits. Very Boardsian, slightly off kilter or unexpected, but it works so well.

Then BOOM! Around 35 seconds the classic unmistakable washed out, slightly acidic BoC synth ...

The glockenspiel or whatever definitely evokes like 90s carnival/Halloween/dungeon computer game level

At the end of the glockenspiel break before the beat comes back there’s a real-sounding cello?

When the beat initially comes in at the beginning, the 1 is not where I expected it to be, maybe ...

Hopefully their brief statement here isn't the only 'interview' we get for Inferno.

According to bocpages, the first TH-era interview came out June 7, just three days before the album. So given that precedent, the absence of interviews/press photos doesn't strongly suggest there won't be any.

So many tracks were full of surprises. Twists and turns and unexpected chord changes. I could not once “predict” how the chord progressions would resolve or evolve. Such a pleasure.

Yeah definitely more harmonically adventurous than TH. There was that one in the middle that started out as just ...

Who’s doing nyc 10p and might be interested in hitting a jazz club or something after? There are some good options nearby

Telepath was definitely the most memorable moment of the first listen for me, aside from the ident thing at the beginning of Gemini

Has anyone noticed that the guitar melody has a slightly different rhythm when it comes back for two more repeats later in the tune?

It does connect to the whole Pioneer Plaque thing a bit. There's the hydrogen thing. The video has all these silhouettes of human figures. Also, the video has some mathematical bits like the sin function and the spiral plotted on axes -- could be interpreted as artifacts we'd try to show aliens to ...

I think it would (hopefully will) be fascinating and surreal to meet some of the twoism members I've seen on here for up to 15 years.
